Who Xu Jiangshan

Chapter 17 Returning with Victory (2)
"How is it? Is she okay?" Ye Qingyan greeted Chu Ning as soon as he walked out of the dungeon.

"It's okay." Chu Ning had already calmed down. Although the time was short, she still got a lot of information from Wei Linglong. The next thing to do was to dig out the bottom line and find out the covered up evidence.

"Since it's all right, how about we go have a drink?" Ye Qingyan suggested.

"it is good."

Chuning followed Ye Qingyan to the Brunei Accord, which is the most popular place in the imperial capital for literati. There are literature, tea and wine, and even dignitaries and boudoir ladies will come to sit there.

Ye Qingyan is obviously a regular customer of the Brunei Accord. As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper greeted him: "Master Ye is here! Congratulations to Mr. Ye for the victory!"

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, the people who were sitting drinking and drinking tea gathered around at once, saying "Ye Hou Ye" one by one, showing strong admiration for Ye Qingyan.Ye Qingyan had a headache, so he pushed Chu Ning out without saying a word, and said, "This is Ning Chu, the military advisor of Lord Benhou. Without him, today's victory would not be possible, so if you want to admire him, admire him."

"It turns out that this is Master Ning, he really is a hero born a boy!"

"Master Ning is resourceful and resourceful. He defeated Beiyue in a big way. He really deserves to be my son-in-law." Those people walked up to Chuning one after another and praised him.

Chuning looked at Ye Qingyan who had already rushed to the second floor, and smiled helplessly.When she got rid of the siege and went up to the second floor, Ye Qingyan had already drunk wine leisurely by the window.

"Isn't this our Marquis Ye?"

As soon as Chuning took her seat, she heard a familiar voice. She looked up and saw Xie Lingran coming out of a wing room and asked with a smile.

"Lingran? Why are you here? Come and have a drink!" Ye Qingyan greeted quickly when he saw Xie Lingran.

Xie Lingran stepped forward, looked at Chuning, and asked, "Is this Lord Ning? I have heard of you for a long time."

Chuning smiled slightly: "Young Prince, you are being polite."

"Sit down! It's been a long time since we met again! As the saying goes, a little farewell is better than a newlywed..." Ye Qingyan said while helping Xie Lingran pour wine.

"This little prince has become a prince of a thousand households, but he still speaks so incoherently? What did I say? It's easy to change your country, but your nature is hard to change!" Another familiar voice rang out.The corners of Chuning's lips curled up slightly. I met so many acquaintances today.

No, not only Xie Lingshuang came, but also Chu Yan.

"Don't pay attention to her." Ye Qingyan rolled his eyes.

"Hey! Ye Qingyan, I've worked so hard to prepare a feast for you, and you're doing this to me?" Xie Lingshuang stared, with a hint of anger on her pretty face.

"Princess, don't be angry. Master Hou's informality with the princess shows that you are different in his heart, doesn't it?" Chu Yan smiled slightly at the side, and whispered in Xie Ling's ears.But even though the voice was soft, Chuning could still hear it clearly.

Ye Qingyan pouted, too lazy to speak.

Xie Lingshuang, however, when Ye Qingyan acquiesced, a look of joy appeared in his eyes, sat down beside Xie Lingran and said, "Ye Qingyan, tell us about your heroic deeds!"

"Ning Chu, tell me." Ye Qingyan unceremoniously threw the hot potato to Ning Chu again.

"What does he have to say? You are the one who charged forward, not him." Xie Lingshuang curled his lips.

Chu Ning's eyes flickered slightly. As a fourth-rank official, she might not be able to catch their eyes at all. It's a pity that they will spend more time dealing with each other in the future.

She curled her lips: "The princess is very right, Lord Hou should not refuse."

"What do you know?" Ye Qingyan rolled his eyes, looked at Chu Yan, and asked, "Chuning hasn't gone yet?"

Chuning was taken aback, and the others were also taken aback. No one expected that Ye Qingyan would ask about Chuning.

"No." Chu Yan shook her head, and continued: "Master Hou, don't worry about her, my mother gave her enough silver, enough for her to live comfortably."

"What did you ask her for?" Xie Lingshuang was a little dissatisfied.

Ye Qingyan didn't answer, but suddenly looked at Ning Chu: "By the way, Ning Chu, since you know Yujin, do you know Chuning?"

Chu Ning raised his eyes and said, "I have heard that the abandoned daughter of the general's mansion may not know where she died for a long time."

"Lord Ning's words are wrong." Xie Lingran suddenly smiled and said, "I think, where is Miss Chu at ease!"

Chu Ning was startled, and then heard Ye Qingyan continue: "Lingran is right, this woman is really scheming, how can she die so easily!"

"Why did Qingyan ask her? Did he regret it?" Xie Lingran raised her eyebrows and asked.

Ye Qingyan stared: "What are you thinking? How can an ugly girl like her fall into Ye Qingyan's eyes?"

As soon as this remark came out, not only Xie Lingshuang heaved a sigh of relief, but even Chuning heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't want to be missed by Ye Qingyan, otherwise twists and turns would inevitably arise.

It was night, and Chuning walked home slowly. The street was brightly lit and lively. She hadn't seen the scenery of the imperial capital for a long time.

Suddenly, a slender figure came into view, that person walked slowly from a distance, Ruyu's face was more eye-catching than the lights on this street.

Just as Chu Ning was about to step forward, Chu Yan appeared out of nowhere. She walked quickly to the man, and said with joy in her voice, "Your Highness!"

Looking at him from a distance, Chu Ning saw him bow his head and say a few words to Chu Yan, then raised his head and looked straight at her. Chu Ning curled up his lips, and there was a gloating smile in his eyes.

As the saying goes, the hardest thing to bear is the grace of a beauty, Ye Qingyan is like this, and Xie Ziyu is also like this.

When she was in Prince Jin's Mansion back then, she knew that Xie Lingshuang's purpose of inviting her was to humiliate her in front of Ye Qingyan. Xie Lingshuang's goal was achieved, not only humiliating her, but also making Ye Qingyan withdraw the engagement directly.And Chu Yan, when she saw Xie Ziyu, not only her eyes, but also her personality changed. In her eyes, the master who killed her was a sweet potato in Chu Yan's eyes.

Seeing the smile on Chuning's lips, Xie Ziyu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Chuning had no intention of going up to join in the fun, turned around and turned into the side alley, through the alley is the Yujiang River that runs through the entire imperial capital, if it is not cold in winter, the Yujiang River is the most lively place in the imperial capital, both sides of the river are full of willow trees, hanging on the willow trees Looking from a distance with the lanterns on, it looks like two streets of lights, bustling like a dream.

At this time, there were a few pleasure boats floating on the river, and there were only a few people by the river. Chuning walked along the river for a while, and was about to turn back to his mansion, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure standing under a willow tree not far away.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Chuning had no choice but to step forward, yawned and said, "Your Highness, what a coincidence..."

Xie Ziyu suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Chuning and pushed her against the tree.

Chu Ning remained calm, and only smiled slightly: "Your Highness, there are so many people talking, it would be bad if people think you have broken sleeves."

"Oh? Too many people?" Xie Ziyu looked around, um, there was no one there.

Chu Ning smiled faintly: "I'm afraid that someone will be in the dark, and His Highness will be hard to guard against."

Xie Ziyu stared at Chuning for a while, then suddenly smiled lightly: "Don't worry, even if there are people in the dark, they are my king's people."

Chu Ning looked at Xie Ziyu calmly, and said, "Your Highness, please don't get involved with me, I am thinking of His Highness."

She won't live long, and she is desperate for this life. It may not be a good thing for Xie Ziyu to have a relationship with her.

"Are you worried about me, or do you want to draw a clear line with me?" Xie Ziyu put one arm around Chuning's waist and the other grabbed her hand, his voice was a little low.

"Of course I'm worried about His Highness." Chu Ning blinked with a smile in his eyes.

Xie Ziyu looked at her for a while, then said two words expressionlessly: "Lie."

The smile on Chu Ning's face remained unchanged, and he just said lightly: "Your Highness should know that twisted melons are not sweet. If Your Highness wants to marry the daughter of the general's mansion, Chu Yan is the best candidate."

Xie Ziyu's eyes darkened slightly, he stretched out his hand to caress Chuning's face, suddenly smiled, and uttered two words again: "Lie."

The smile on Chu Ning's lips froze, and he kicked Xie Ziyu suddenly with his foot. Xie Ziyu dodged to the side, and Chuning took the opportunity to shake off his hand, and turned around a foot away.

She stood there, the smile on her lips no longer, she just looked at Xie Ziyu calmly: "Your Highness, it's late at night, so go to bed earlier."

After finishing speaking, he performed lightness kung fu and disappeared into the night.

Xie Ziyu stood where she was, looking at the direction in which she disappeared, without moving for a long time.

"Master, when dealing with such a woman, you must not be soft-handed. You should be the overlord." Su Ye came out from nowhere, approached Xie Ziyu, and said seriously.Xie Ziyu glanced at him, and heard him continue, "This woman just needs to be trained. You treat her well, but she doesn't care. If you treat her coldly, she will stick to it."

"Are you very experienced?" Xie Ziyu asked calmly.

Su Ye thought for a while, shook his head, and finally shut up obediently.

Two days later, Ye Qingyan's reception banquet was held at the Prince Jin's Mansion as scheduled. When Chuning arrived, everyone was already there, and it was still the same place, except that there were no more lotus flowers in the lotus lake, and Xie Ziyu was with Chu Yan. Chess, Ye Qingyan was drinking and chatting with other people in the pavilion.

Seeing Chuning, Ye Qingyan waved to her: "Ning Chu, come up quickly!"

Chu Ning didn't even look at Xie Ziyu and Chu Yan, and went upstairs. Xie Lingshuang was joking with the people next to him. Seeing Ning Chu, he said, "I heard that Master Ning is not only resourceful, but also good at martial arts. , it just so happens that a new chief guard has arrived in the Jin Palace, how about a competition between the two of you?"

Chuning raised his eyebrows, is she going to perform juggling?

"The princess opened his mouth, and the subordinates dare not disobey, but the sword has no eyes. If it hurts someone, it will be bad. How about it?"

"What's the point of going to the end? Since it's going to be a competition, it's natural for you to use all your abilities to fight for the outcome, and it's up to you!" someone shouted.

Excitement appeared in Xie Lingshuang's eyes: "Yes, don't stop there!"

Ye Qingyan looked at her without stopping, and there was some excitement and anticipation in his eyes.

Back in the imperial capital, he was that dandy who loves to play and make trouble. He had never seen Chuning's martial arts in Qingmen Pass, so he wanted to find out this time.

Chu Ning lowered his eyes and smiled slightly: "In that case, let's issue a military order. Swords have no eyes, life and death are up to people, and there is no prosecution."

"Okay!" Xie Lingshuang did not refuse, and shouted: "Come here, prepare paper and pens."

The head guard was named Mu Jiu, a young man with a very ordinary appearance, only one pair of eyes was very cold, which was a little different.

Chuning glanced at him, lowered his head and wrote the military order.

After a while, Xie Ziyu came up, Chu Yan followed behind, Xie Lingshuang looked at Xie Ziyu and said with a smile: "Brother Ziyu, you came just in time, Master Ning is going to compete with Mu Jiu in martial arts, we have a good show to watch. "

Xie Ziyu frowned, looked at Chuning, and saw that she had written the military order calmly.

Everyone came down from the attic, surrounded them to the flat ground by the lake, Xie Lingshuang ordered people to bring all kinds of weapons, and Chu Ning picked up a sword.

The test begins.

That was the first time everyone saw Chuning fighting, and it was also the first time Xie Ziyu saw her true strength. In her hand, the sword was like a nimble snake, as if it could hurt people without controlling it.

Her figure was as fast as lightning, and she exuded a sharp aura from her whole body. She had a very ordinary face, but at this moment, she looked like a Shura, which made people dare not underestimate her.

They don't know that Chuning has shown [-] points of strength at this moment, and she has to do something to frighten this group of people in one fell swoop, otherwise, they will always only think of her as someone who can be dispatched at will, rather than someone who can be dispatched at will. They are in awe and do not dare to underestimate people.

Mu Jiu's skill is also very good, the two can be said to be on par, because the military order was issued, so neither side showed mercy, and the moves were all killer moves, and after a while, both of them failed.

The two fought from the ground to the tree, and everyone looked up with great interest.

Suddenly, a white object fell out of Chuning's cuff. She paused slightly, and then jumped towards the object. The empty door behind her was immediately exposed in front of Mu Jiu. She was so fast that when the object fell to the ground He had already reached out to catch it before, but Mu Jiu's speed was faster, and the sword stabbed straight towards her back. Chuning's body flickered slightly, and the sword edge shifted, but it still pierced into her left shoulder.

Chu Ning didn't snort, and put the thing in his hand into his arms calmly. No one could see what it was, only Xie Ziyu's eyes shrank suddenly.

"Okay!" Chuning heard someone applaud, and his eyes were covered with a layer of chill.

The sword was still piercing her shoulder, and Chu Ning suddenly backed away quickly, allowing the sword to go straight through her shoulder. Mu Jiu was taken aback, and before he could move, Chu Ning had already made a sharp turn, causing the sword to penetrate her shoulder. The sword came out of his palm, and then he lifted it up and dropped it, straight into his chest.

Mu Jiu was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to be so ruthless and decisive that she could use her body as an opportunity to turn around, but in the end he fell straight on the ground.

Chu Ning turned his head, looked at the crowd, and smiled coldly. There was a chill in that smile, which made people shudder.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?" She spoke slowly, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips.

"Master Ning is injured! Hurry up and call for a doctor!" Xie Lingshuang's expression froze slightly, and he hurriedly shouted.

"The guard Mu is loyal, and the lower official spared his life on purpose. Please don't disappoint the good intention of the lower official." Chu Ning smiled again, and turned to Ye Qingyan, with calm eyes, "Congratulations, Lord Hou, on his triumphant return to the capital. The officer will take his leave first."

She walked out like that, staggering, bruised all over, with a sword stuck in her shoulder.

"Ning Chu!"

Ye Qingyan's voice came from afar, but Chuning didn't turn his head, and he didn't even stop in his footsteps.If he wants to make friends with her, he must not feel that he is superior to her. She is not someone he can come and go with, let alone someone he can look down on.

As soon as Chu Ning came out of the Jin Palace, he used his internal force to shake the sword on his shoulder, covered the wound with his hand, and returned to the mansion as quickly as possible.

When the door opened, Uncle Zhang was very shocked: "My lord, why are you injured? Hurry up! Come in quickly, I'll call the doctor right away!"
